According to an article in the Birmingham Post, the Trianon Theater closed in 1934 and was being converted to a two story building for the Peggy Hale Dress Company. The article also mentions that a new theater was about to open in North Birmingham and that theater would use the Trianon name.

There isn’t much information on the ‘second’ Trianon Theater apart from the fact it had 600 seats and was open in 1941 and 1943, but gone from listings in 1950.

Again a case of looking for clues for me as to which studio this theater was associated; as most were in the Golden Era. The Trianon appears at the time of the 1928 photo to have been associated with 20th Century Fox. Notice the FOX NEWS ad on the right hand corner of the marquee area.

The building that housed the Trianon Theatre is still standing at 1916 2nd Avenue North. It appears to have been occupied when the Google camera car went by in June, 2008, but looked vacant when this photo, uploaded to Flickr on December 30, 2009, was taken.
